Quote by Leo Tolstoy

Immature love says, "I love you because I need you." Mature love says, "I need you because I love you."

Erich Fromm

Love looks through a telescope; envy through a microscope.

Henry Wheeler Shaw

Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside.

Honoré de Balzac

The most powerful symptom of love is a tenderness which becomes at times almost insupportable.

Victor Hugo

Love grants in a moment what toil can hardly acheive in an age.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.

Antoine De Saint-Exupery

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do, but how much love we put in that action.

Mother Teresa

Flowers are love's truest language.

Søren Kierkegaard

The sincerest love is the love of food.

George Bernard Shaw

I believe love produces a certain flowering of the whole personality which nothing else can achieve.

Ivan Sergeevich

We conceal it from ourselves in vain - we must always love something. In those matters seemingly removed from love, the feeling is secretly to be found, and man cannot possibly live for a moment without it.

Blaise Pascal

Hate leaves ugly scars; love leaves beautiful ones.

Mignon McLaughlin

Love has no better teacher than the occasion.

Miguel de Cervantes

When you come right down to it, the secret of having it all is loving it all.

If a person loves only one other person and is indifferent to all others, his love is not love but a symbiotic attachment, or an enlarged egotism.

It is not only necessary to love, It is necessary to say so.
